Introduction Urban studies thinkers consider citizens' participation as one of the infrastructures for increasing in the capabilities of urban management. In order to citizens' participation to be meaningful and express the main concept of participation, it must be on a local scale and then reach the transnational arena. Neighborhoods, as the most fundamental elements of cities, have a special place in shaping and organizing the affairs of Tehran. With the establishment of the Pahlavi government and the effort to modernize Iran and the growth and increase in the population of cities, the traditional structures of urban life, including neighborhoods, underwent a transformation. The Law of City Associations was approved before the revolution, but it took many years to pay attention to neighborhood life again with the formation and implementation of the city's Islamic councils in 1998. In recent years, the neighborhood has been defined as the center of concentration and connection of urban services - people and municipality - in the smallest structural area of Tehran municipality. This center was chosen in such a way that all the possible capacities of the municipality can be delegated to it, and at the same time, concrete and objective participation of the citizens was directed to it in all areas that can be participated in, and new and up-to-date functions were defined for it. New social theories consider women's participation in sustainable development processes to be essential, and since the field of women's activity is traditionally wider in the fields of family and neighborhood, the local administration has envisioned a special role for women in city affairs and implemented special programs to improve their quality of life. In an environmental approach, women have the ability to play a greater role as leaders or active participants in smaller communities such as urban neighborhoods. It can be said that women play an essential role in local social cohesion. This type of connection is especially necessary to achieve social planning and successful management in multicultural societies. Because experience has shown that women pay attention to the dimensions of the needs of all groups in society and are not limited to the views and desires of powerful and effective members of society and often seek to create bridges over social, cultural and racial divisions as well as incompatibilities in society. That society will lead to a better life. Research findings Based on this, the current research tries to investigate the effect of local women's participation in the programs of active organizations (Serai Mahlah) on improving their quality of life. Angeh, Homayun Shahr and Aqdasiye neighborhoods were introduced and selected as examples by the neighborhood management strategic headquarters because of their active role in this matter. In the current research, a survey method was used with the two goals of description and explanation. At the level of description, the goal is to provide information on the level of participation of women in the administration of neighborhood affairs, and at the level of explanation and analysis, the goal is to find the existence or non-existence of a relationship between independent and dependent variables. At the same time, it has been used to compile the theoretical foundations and review previous researches in a documentary (library) way. The statistical population of the research is made up of the women of Tehran's active neighborhoods in the field of participation in the administration of city affairs, and on this basis, two groups of active and inactive women were selected from among the women of these neighborhoods and investigated. In this research, the sample size is 240 tons, which was determined based on Cochran's formula, which is divided into two parts (124 active tons and 116 inactive tons). In the sampling method, there are two important reasons for choosing the neighborhood center, one is that the manager of the neighborhood is a woman, and the other is the introduction by the neighborhood management strategic headquarters as the most active centers in the neighborhoods of Tehran, which are Angeh, Homayoun Shahr, and Aqdasiyeh neighborhoods. Available sampling method was used to select local activists and random sampling method was used for inactive people. A questionnaire was used to collect information. After verifying its validity and reliability in the preliminary stages of the research, the questionnaire was used to collect the required data in the final stage. The results obtained from this research show that the existence of the neighborhood management institution shows that the participation of citizens is recognized as a necessity and need for collective life, and women are not excluded from this as citizens of the society. Sarai Mahalat is active as one of the sub-institutions of neighborhood management, and the use of the services provided in it can have a significant impact on improving the quality of life of women in various dimensions, and the officials are required to provide the necessary conditions to create the necessary infrastructure and facilities in this regard. On the other hand, they should create the necessary motivation in women in different ways so that they also become eager to participate in local affairs (various aspects), because compared to men, women devote more time to work inside and around the house (local area), so they have deeper experiences, knowledge and insight to build the environment around them. According to Arnstein and Hannah Arendt, if women can have an active participation in the administration of local affairs and not just a theatrical participation, they can actualize and realize their potential talents in various fields. It seems that if the participation of women at the local level has positive results (as the results of this research confirm this), it will lead to this fact that women are encouraged to participate at higher levels of society, which will facilitate the development of the country. Conclusions In the present study, the impact of the use of services provided in Sarai Mahalat on the quality of life of service users was investigated in different dimensions. At first, the presence or absence of a relationship was measured using Pearson's correlation coefficient, which confirmed the existence of a relationship between women's local participation and the improvement of their quality of life in different dimensions. In the following, the difference between the average scores of the group that used the services and the group that did not use the services was investigated using the T-test, and according to the obtained scores, the hypotheses of the research were confirmed. After that, two-dimensional tables were used to clarify the relationship between dependent and independent variables. The results of these tables show that the intensity of the relationship between local participation with the quality of life and physical health is greater than the intensity of its relationship with economic empowerment.

This article offers a brief account of the life and editorial career of Homayoun Moein, a masterful editor of mathematical texts in the post-revolution era. It also examines his work environment at the Iran University Press (Markaz-e ‎Nashr-e Daneshgahi), the institution’s remarkable dedication to editing, and its role in advancing the quality of academic publications.

One of the common theories focused on politics, society, and state in Iran is the "theory of despotism". Many Iranian and non-Iranian thinkers have commented and even theorized about why and how the emergence, formation, and continuation of "despotism" in Iran. Mohammad Ali (Homayoun) Katozian is one of the Iranian scholars who have proposed the view of "despotism" on the history of Iran. In Katouzian's view, Iranian society and state have historically been in a cycle of "despotism, chaos, chaos, and despotism". In this view, Iranian society has always been either plagued by despotism or by chaos, conflict, and strife. Katozian's view emphasizes the comprehensive impact of authoritarian political power on other dimensions of society. The question is whether Katozian's view of Iranian despotism is a result of the whole of Iranian history? The findings indicate that Katozian's view is not relevant to the entire history of Iran and this article examines this discrepancy. The method of the article is descriptive-analytical.

The present article examines the writings of Dr. Nasser Takmil Homayoun, a prominent contemporary historian and sociologist, with a special emphasis on his works in the Qajar period. Most of his writings are researches on the history and society of Qajar. Thus the main question of the present article is whether Takmil Homayoun been able to adhere to the principles of historiography and especially sociology in his writings? Despite his specialized education in sociology, he seems to have considered himself mainly a historian and he did not pay much attention to the principles and rules of sociology so that his works in the field of use of sociological concepts, methods and theories, and sociological explanations are devoid of such criteria and even in some of his most important writings, a conflict with sociological methods and explanations is evident. Therefore, the present article evaluates the works of Takmil Homayoun on three levels: definition of concepts and conceptual anachronism, Doxa perspective, and poverty of sociological methods and theories.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to get to a neurological evaluation of one of the Persian music scales, Homayoun, on brain activation of non-musician subjects. We selected this scale because Homayoun is one of the main scales in Persian classical music which is similar to minor mode in western scales.Methods: This study was performed on 19 right handed subjects, Aging 22-31. Here some pieces from Homayoun Dastgah are used in both rhythmic and nonrhythmic.Result: The results of this study revealed the brain activities for each of rhythmic and non-rhythmic versions of Homayoun Dastgah. The activated regions for nonrhythmic Homayoun contained: right and left Subcallosal Cortex, left Medial Frontal cortex, left anterior Cingulate Gyrus, left Frontal Pole and for rhythmic Homayoun contained: left Precentral Gyrus, left Precuneous Cortex, left anterior Supramarginal, left Superior Parietal Lobule, left Postcentral Gyrus. Also, we acquired amygdala area in both pieces of music.Discussion: Based on arousal effects of rhythm and Damasio's somatic marker hypothesis, non-rhythmic Homayoun activates regions related to emotion and thinking while activity of rhythmic Homayoun is related to areas of movement and motion.

Gholam Hossein Sharegh Yazdi (1847-1928) is a recent Iranian poet who was also a teacher, a judge and a lawyer with a good knowledge of logic. His philosophical-sophistic Masnavi is renowned for highlighting weak and invalid reasoning and arguments. He follows an elaborative approach to different aspects of fallacy. Fallacy, or errors in thought, is a mixed comparison by means of similarities and illusions. The present study uses a descriptive-analytical method to examine the fallacies in Sharegh Yazidi’s Masnavi. The main question asked in this study is “what frameworks are presented by Sharegh Yazdi to avoid thought errors?” The results showed that the poet elaborates on the status of fallacies and answers illusive objections made by fake scholars through highlighting different types of thought errors and erroneous reasoning. It is notable that the pathology of fallacy and baseless claims, which are mostly rooted in emotions and criticizing misleading ambiguous topics, were the most mental damages mentioned by Sharegh. These features have also enriched the educational aspects of his work. This means that the poet was aware of fallacious reasoning and highlighted them intentionally in his poems. In addition, the poet’s adherence to religion has filled his poems with reasons rooted in religious beliefs.

The aim of this paper is to recognize the image of city by seeking the etymology of the word shar "the city". The findings of this research show that the word "shar" has been rooted from an Avestan word which has not been denoted to earthy human settlements and has usually been indicated a spiritual territory. The development of the meaning in Pahlavi language and its application as human settlement could be an attempt to represent the earthy rei earn to its spirituality. Also, there was an attempt in this study to identify concepts such as shar, shahrestan and shares tan which could be useful in the correct application of these words.

Lyric includes a wide range of subjects and poetic formats. Specifically, it is a type of poem in which the element of emotion is dominant and naturally it has some components that have made it different from other types. In the present study, the author investigated the indicators of lyrics in the story of Homay and Homayoun by Khaju Kermani and the poet pays attention to rhetorical principles and the relationship with the audience. Components that this study has been written based on them are the personalization of "I" in lyrics and introspection, being romantic-mystical, compounds of lyrics, descriptions, and metaphors, investigation of battles and banquets, etc. which is matched by expressing some examples of Khaju's poems. The general purpose of the research is how these components are manifested in Homay and Homayoun? The result of the research is that; the mighty poet has paid attention to the form and meaning and the way they are used and their impact on the reader. This literal type enjoys a great deal of lyrics value due to the usage of battle and mythological elements by Khaju and ethical points(doctrinal) that are specific to other types, and the emergence of lyrics indicators is outstanding in the way that it covers epic and ethical indicators. The imagination power of the poet and using these features have turned the work into a lyric and made it a special one.

Amīr Najm al-Dīn Ḥasan Dehlavī (d. 738/1337) is counted among the renowned Persian poets of India. His Dīvān, which comprises qaṣīdas, ghazals, qiṭ‛as, and quatrains, has been published several times in both India and Iran. Based on our investigation, the Dīvān contains 166 quatrains, among which a number of shahr-āshūb quatrains can be identified. A shahr-āshūb poem is a composition describing trades and professions, typically couched in the form of love poetry. The late Aḥmad Gulchīn Ma‛ānī, in his book Shahr-āshūb dar Shi‛r-e Fārsī dedicated to this very genre, made no mention of Ḥasan Dehlavī’s quatrains, and their absence is also felt in subsequent scholarship. The present study publishes seventeen shahr-āshūb quatrains of Ḥasan Dehlavī on the basis of both printed and manuscript sources of his poetry. More than half of the quatrains cited here are missing from the printed editions.

ran is considered as one of the most earthquake-stricken countries in the world and its cities have faced many damage and harms by this natural phenomenon. Iran's establishment on the Himalayan Alpine earthquake belt has caused the occurrence of earthquakes as one of the most hazardous damages in the country. The earthquake hazard in the city of Zarin Shahr is not an exception, according to the building regulations 2800, the fourth edition and the tectonic conditions, and the existence of four main faults and a sub-fault around it at a radius of 150 km and the seismic record in this area during the last thirty nine years. Also, in the process of preparing the zoning map and horizontal hazard acceleration in Zarin Shahr, a probabilistic method of the CRISIS model, one of the most powerful and high-precision software, has been used. Therefore, in this research, we have tried to use modern planning modules such as the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) model. The results of this study show that different factors can have different effects on vulnerability and earthquake damage, so that the effects of environmental factors such as distance from fault, soil, and gradient percent are more than other factors. Physical-skeletal factors such as building age, population density, number of building floors, material genus and land use are more effective in earthquake after natural factors. In this research, we tried to use a descriptive-analytical method. After determining the criteria, sub-criteria and options for the vulnerability of the earthquake, using experts' opinion and existing documents, the weight of the criteria was calculated in Expert selection software. And related maps are collected and stored through over-lapping in the Arc Gis software and vulnerable areas of the city Zarin Shahr are identified and analyzed. After drawing up a zone risk map and area vulnerability in Arc Gis software, by using the product of the two generated maps, the final map of Zarin Shahr risk was drawn and the risk of the areas was analyzed in five categories and 4. 30% are at a very low risk, 23. 27% at medium risk and 3. 47% of urban areas are at a high risk.
